Yme will buy relief materials tomorrow in Nepal and then go to a small town in Ghurka called Dhawa. Dhawa was completely destroyed by the earthquake. With the money you donated we will be able to bring aid to all the families in the village.

Earlier today Shadab sent us a message that he gave aid to about 30 families in three remote villages. He helped distributing food, tents and blankets. In his own words: “Man this really was a humbling experience. These people already had it hard living in those remote areas. It’s just so much worse now.” The most pressing matter is to get more supplies to these remote areas as Shadab told us: “The hardest part was turning away some people because there wasn’t enough to go around”. Yme and Shubhannkar are going to get the supplies that Shadab needs and bring these along when they meet up in a few days.

Shadab also sent us some photographs he took over the past couple of days.

The first donations have come in, thank you so much. We’ve also been offered help and expertise by a few people and got some great tips. Yme is trying to change his visa so he can go back into Nepal.

First donations have come in

Yme will meet up with Shubhankar in Gorakhpur and from where they will travel into Nepal in three or four days.

Update: Yme going to Nepal

Shadab Khan reached Gauda Village earlier today after an eight hour trek. He will send us some pictures tomorrow. His first impression is that the area is not that badly affected despite it being the epicentre of the earthquake.
